You will take away my Kindle DX from my hands only when I die.
- Huge screen for PDF
- Great for technical books
- no backlit means I can read for hours
- decent batteries
My use case: I read mostly non fiction (technical books, business books with diagrams).
I feel like a dinosaur when on an airplane but there is no way I can read my books in these tiny Kindles.
Anybody who has my same use case believes it's time for me to finally upgrade from this old yet trusty DX thing?
I am starting to feel a little
Self conscious!
- ghaff 10y ago>no backlit means I can read for hours You can read for a lot of hours on a tablet, which is a lot better than Kindle epaper for the types of material you describe. There was a time when some sort of epaper/LCD convergence seemed to make a lot of sense. Today, though, while I prefer a small Kindle for flow of text, an LCD tablet really does win for formatted and graphical content. I still prefer paper for some situations but, given digital, there's really nothing wrong with tablets.
